visiting elderly

Every week we visit elderly people at this nursing home who would otherwise have no visitors. We are looking to increase the number of people we visit. Visiting in pairs we provide company and conversation to these very interesting, albeit often forgotten, members of our society. The Little Sisters of the Poor provide excellent care to these elderly people many of whom are well into the nineties.

St Joseph's Nursing Home

Homeless Work

We provide hot drinks, sandwiches, sweet snacks, clothing and survival bags to the homeless of Manchester City Centre. Members of our Conference head into the city centre in the evening. This work has been called "life saving" and a "gift from God" by many of the homeless we visit. Our guiding principle when out on the streets is wisdom from our Spiritual Director Fr. William "...it is important that we help the poor not through pity but out of respect"

L'Arche

SVP MUSCC at is highly interested in the activities of this worthwhile local L'Arche community as it is prosperous community committed to working together for the benefit of its members. Kevin Coogan the L'Arche Manchester Community Leader has given talks at the University regarding L'Arche Manchester which has caught the attention of many students.

breakfast club

We help run a breakfast club at Holy Name Primary School. This is a great way to provide positive young role models for these children and also to be inspired by them in return.
